Governance

The Research Governance Framework improves research quality and safeguards the public by:

  • Enhancing ethical and scientific quality
  • Promoting good practice
  • Reducing adverse incidents and ensuring lessons are learned
  • Preventing poor performance and misconduct

As of April 2005 the Greater Manchester PCTs came together to work collaboratively to support and streamline research management and governance in primary care research.

The Greater Manchester Primary Care Research Governance Partnership (ReGrouP) is a partnership between the 10 Greater Manchester Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) and Health R&D North West, the local NHS R&D Support Unit.

For more information please visit the ReGrouP website.

ReGrouP is for all those who:

  • Participate in research
  • Host research in their organisation
  • Fund research proposals or infrastructure
  • Manage research
  • Undertake research

It is for managers and staff, in all professional groups, no matter how senior or junior.

All primary care research will need ethical and ReGrouP approval before commencing in Greater Manchester.
